The following proposal, by the architects and futurists at Terreform ONE, was submitted for our May cover feature, in which we asked designers to envision new models of multigenerational housing. IMAGE: Nicholas Gervasi
"Multigen" will enable generations to
live together, but still preserve options to move away for any length of
time. Not only will extended families be able to live together "under
one roof," they will also have the option of combining their living
units with those of, say, their grandparents, parents, or children.
These can, in turn, be integrated into greater settlement patterns, including cities, suburbs, and rural areas.
